Cyber Security Governance Is A Leadership Responsibility

As cyber threats evolve, boards must remain vigilant in cyber security governance says the British National Cyber Security CentreUnderstanding threat and managing cyber risk are crucial for effective cyber security governance, and boards play a critical role in ensuring this.

Not only do boards carry the legal responsibility and accountability for cyber governance within their organisation, they also have the opportunity to harness the benefits that technology offers, drive their company's agenda, and deliver real value throughout the organisation.

The NCSC has released a new video in which  Paul Chichester, the NCSC’s Director of Operations and Tasha Grayson, Deputy Director of NCSC Assessment, discuss the general threats that organisations face in the evolving cyber landscape. 

They highlight the importance of board-level involvement in making informed cyber security decisions enabling boards to not only protect their organisation, but to also exploit the opportunities that technology brings.

Cyber Governance Training Pack for Boards

In the coming year, the NCSC is committed to developing a comprehensive and interactive online 'Cyber Governance Training Pack' for Boards. This will provide boards with valuable knowledge and practical guidance to enhance their understanding of cyber security governance.

The training will complement the Department of Science, Technology, and Innovation’s (DSIT) proposed Cyber Governance Code of Practice . The NCSC training Pack will include these elements: 

  • Code of Practice:   Aimed at executive and non-executive directors (and other senior leaders), sets out key actions to take to strengthen their cyber resilience and governance regarding cyber risk.
  • Cyber Security Toolkit for Boards:  The NCSC provides guidance on how to implement the actions the outlined in the Code.

As cyber threats evolve, boards must remain vigilant in cyber security governance. Our video, Board Toolkit, and upcoming training empower boards to understand risks and provide effective governance. We will update you on our progress later in the year. Keep an eye out for further announcements.

The NCSC is calling for  feedback and are open to suggestions on how we can improve our resources for board members. If you have any comments or questions, please get in touch HERE
